You know we should have just told you people we’d discovered America, and then closed all the ports once you’d gone.

Americans treating tea with disrespect to rustle British jimmies is a time honored tradition ever since the Boston Tea Party.

TUSA on Sunrise on the Sufferbus

It’s a bit wet without a biscuit served. I suggest a rich tea or custard cream. If you can’t get those in the US, any of your weird ass deviant cookies will do.

Fiivemacs ,

Animal crackers with spray cheese it is

bdonvr ,

Actually we can use the spray cheese to top the tea like it’s a Starbucks Frappuccino or something

shuzuko ,

My stomach actually heaved after reading that.

Blackout OP ,

We put our biscuits in gravy, hee-yuk!

incendiaryperihelion ,

ass deviant cookies are best cookies

nxdefiant ,

we get our tea from beans, we get our cookies from beans, and GODDAMIT some of us get our milk and sugar from beans too.

It’s the American way.

slinkyninja ,

do you dunk it in after or place it in the mug and pour the water in?

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit ,

Seeing as you know we call it dunking, not dipping, I suspect you’re actually British.

Treczoks , to casualuk in How I (US) make tea when my British friend comes over to visit

That is only a bit worse than what British people do with their tea. OK, theirs is reasonably fresh, but they let the teabag sit in the pot for ages and they commit the serious, undefendable crime of adding milk.

Dkarma ,

Milk only belongs in chai tea

DAMunzy ,

Chia … tea. Chia … tea.

not_woody_shaw ,

Chai literally means tea. So chai tea is tea tea. It’s like pizza pie or ATM machine.

QueriesQueried ,

Yes and but that’s just how the distinction is made. Prime example: Shiba/Akita “Inu”. Inu is literally dog. Yet it refers to the purebred dog of Japan, not the american shitmix (no shade, theres just not much consistency with what they’re mixed with). Language evolves over time, even the dumb evolutions.

Tvkan ,

I don’t think they’re engaging in etymological reductionism.

Their argument is that instead of saying “milk only belongs in chai tea”, one could’ve just said “milk only belongs in chai”.

smeg ,

pizza pie

Those two things are not remotely the same

echodot ,

The Americans seem to have a very wide definition of the word Pie and none of them seem to be pies.

Threeme2189 ,

It’s the same with brits and the word pudding…

MrMcGasion ,

What about boba? Although I guess that’s arguably tea in milk, rather than milk in tea.

crapwittyname ,

Watch it. Builder’s tea is the literal backbone of the British economy.

Oh, wait.

Hungary?

Rubanski ,

Milk in Earl grey with honey is just amazing

Treczoks ,

You drown the flavour of the bergamote oil with the honey, and kill off most of the beneficient ingredients of the tea with the milk. What’s the point in using a tea bag in the first place?

Honytawk , to casualuk in How I (US) make tea when my British friend comes over to visit

Well, the US once made the biggest cup of tea in history.

A whole harbor.

Now THAT was a wild party!

tiredofsametab ,

I doubt it, but now I wonder what the biggest amount of tea that ended up in the ocean is and how to search for it. I know whole ships were lost, but digging through manifests (assuming they exist) wouldn't be fun. I also wonder how many in Asia there would have been, possibly before tea even gained popularity in the west.

lloydsmart ,

Americans make the worst tea. Cold and salty.

hydrospanner ,

Cold and salty.

Sounds suitably British.

Fake Pyrex as well

TheMightyCanuck ,
@TheMightyCanuck@sh.itjust.works avatar

That new age dog shit “pyrex” is the worst

Maeve ,

That’s because Pyrex sold pyrex. There’s a difference between the capital and lowercase “p.” Actual Pyrex with the capital “P” is supposedly the original quality. Anchor Hocking is like pyrex, lowercase.

Rambi ,

I could be remembering wrong but didn’t How To Cook That disprove that? Either way almost all of the uppercase P pieces of cookware ended up being borosillicate anyway

Patch ,

There is a difference between “pyrex” and “PYREX”, but the difference is which company owns it rather than necessarily what it’s made of.

However there is truth to it. European PYREX is now exclusively made from borosilicate glass (the original material). There is older PYREX brand stuff made of other materials, but new stuff is all borosilicate. All pyrex glass stuff is now soda-lime glass instead of borosilicate.

Basically, if you’re buying new, the brand is a fine indicator. But if you’re buying anything second hand, the logos won’t help you as all three variants of the branding (Pyrex, PYREX and Pyrex) have made products with both materials at various times.

Why did you forget to open the tea bag?

Kusimulkku , to casualuk in How I (US) make tea when my British friend comes over to visit

Also just leave the tea bag in the tea. How else will anyone know what you’re drinking!

thelastknowngod , to casualuk in How I (US) make tea when my British friend comes over to visit

Someone call the ICC. This is a crime against humanity.

Tea sucks. Coffee sucks.

Water is better.

Water is the best choice for washing out that filthy mouth of yours!

Step 1: Brew coffee. Step 2: Drink coffee.

asteriskeverything ,

Girl coffee is even more extra with the drip, espresso, French press, cold brew etc not to mention the different names for just how much milk or water is there.

ComradeWeebelo , to casualuk in How I (US) make tea when my British friend comes over to visit

That’s some nice hot leaf juice you’ve got there.

Alexstarfire ,

How could a member of my own family say something so horrible?

asteriskeverything ,

I prefer to get my morning zoomies from hot bean juice

Ten minutes? Bloody hell!

Four is about all it takes for most tea. You go longer, you’re just getting the bitter parts
